One time I played 10 games one after another, won 6, 1 runner up spot and 3 no-shows, it took almost 5 hours and to be honest it was hardly worthwhile as my profit was only about $30 if I remember correctly. Personally I've been trying to stop playing STT as I felt my tournament game was suffering. Been trying to dabble in the cash games recently which is obviously much more profitable, albeit very risky for my lowly bankroll. .GIF "Thumb(1)") |
Hi Ed,
I don't think there is a big difference between $10 and $25 tables, as I said before I play on
Betfair and they have leaderboards created for different levels of tournaments, cash games and STT's, I noticed that the same players are on $10 and $25 levels so I thought if I can win against them on $10 why not on $25 ?
I don't like 10 handed games, they don't even have those, on
Betfair you can play 9 or 6 handed games - I play only 6 handed.
You mentioned playing 5 hours for $30 profit, I don't have so much time as I work and come home late very often, I had the same problem so I tried playing Turbo's ( 5 min blind level) but it didn't work as my target every evening is to earn $50 - $60, I decided to step up the tempo and moved to Super Turbo's (2 min blind) and this one works for me well
I usually start at $10 level trying to earn for $25 entry - if I don't play well I loose two $10 buyins and I stop, if I play well or I'm lucky I play as long as I can
, for example yesterday I played two $10 STT's and finished 2nd in both - I played well but was really unlucky in finals, I moved to $25 and played 2 games winning both for a total of $170 profit in just under 1.5 hours ( one super turbo STT takes around 15 min to comlete).It is not always as easy as yesterday but I think I'm able to do $50 a day on avarage.
